Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hi Jason,
Believe it or not...that 14.4k real modem
works much better and as fast or faster with Arachne
on my 486 machine than a 56k Winmodem in my 233MHz pentium
W$dz machine. And it makes the internet connection with
Arachne about ten times faster and is at least 1000 times
more reliable.
